The "#NeverKamala" faction take it too far...but it's legitimate to ask policy questions.

185. I've never insulted the poor.

The poor voted for the candidate you preferred in the primary(and had the right to do so, and I respect their decision, and that is now put to rest)because they thought she was stronger on issues of social oppression...also they liked her K-12 proposals(proposals any Dem president would be trying to implement).

The 2016 primaries and election is over. Neither of the strongest Dem primary candidates are candidates now. In all likelihood, neither will be again. And I've said repeatedly that I don't think the person I supported in the primaries SHOULD run again-too much baggage and he'd be too old.

I have no candidate for 2020 at the moment, and don't plan to even think about that until at least late 2018.

The poor who voted(most poor people didn't vote) and most people of color didn't vote for the candidate I preferred in 2016.

That doesn't mean they can be assumed to disagree with everything his campaign called for.

Most of them are in agreement with him on economic justice issues.



And I never, not ONCE, called the poor "corporatist".

Nor have I ever taken the side of people earning "hundreds of thousands of dollars' against the poor.

People who earn that much money didn't support the candidate I supported. They all voted GOP.

And people earning THAT much money would all be paying out of their own or their parents' pockets to go to private universities, just for the exclusiveness.

As to free(or even low-cost college)I personally support it, in significant measure, because it would give the poor a greater chance to go to college if they wished to do so-I don't see college as something only rich people, and especially only rich white men, want to attend.

I don't hate Kamala Harris. I have no strong feelings about her at this point one way or another.

If she runs and is nominated, I'll campaign for her.

All I said is that, while no one should be demonizing any possible Dem candidate, people have the right to ask questions about what any possible candidate stands for. The first line of my OP was a condemnation of the haters-an unambiguous condemnation.
